Question one: Why need to keep a backup of your Galaxy Nexus?
The single best decision that any smart device user will make is backing up all data and information from their device. Smart devices hold important information such as contacts, photos, videos, messages, music and apps. To ensure that this information is available even in future, you need to back up. Creating a backup of your device will enable you take an extra copy of your device data in your computer. The back up file can also be stored on the cloud therefore ensuring that in case your computer fails, you can restore your smart device from anywhere else.
Question two: Why we need an additional tool to backup Galaxy Nexus?
Google Nexus 7 runs on Android OS while most computers run on either Windows, Mac OS or one of the many Linux distribution. Today, you will find users who still run Windows XP even though Microsoft has ceased to support it. Having a legacy OS running in your computer can be a hindrance especially when you want to back up data from your Android device to your computer. Other proprietary operating systems like Mac OS have their own software namely iTunes which allow iPhone and iPad users to connect to the computers. If you have a Mac computer and you want to back up your data from your Google Nexus 7 device, you will need a third party application.
